YouTube Instructional Videos on Lifting

ChristyU74

I have found some really helpful videos on YouTube that show you how to do squats, sumo squats, deadlifts, etc. Even how to use a Smith Machine. They have trainer Michelle Trapp (who has AMAZING muscle tone, by the way) performing them and talking you through each step. As someone who was a little intimidated going into the free weight area of the gym, I thought these were great!

Here's the video for Barbell Squats. You can move to the other videos from here:

Thanks for posting! I went through a few Michelle Trapp videos and she is really good at explaining proper form and some pitfalls of bad form to avoid.

I liked her dead lift video too.... this is an exercise where things can go very wrong without proper form: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hW36j9frZg

Here's a video that shows how to do the Prone Jackknife. It's an awesome ab exercise when performed this way!

Tried this version of the Prone Jackknife today. Holy cow! They were really hard! My arms were shaking, I was dripping sweat, but at least I know I'm working!

Here's a video showing how to do the "barbell Romanian deadlift/bent-over row" shown on page 182. I did them this way during Stage 3 (workout .

However, as coach Nick states in this next video, we are significantly stronger doing Romanian deadlifts than we are doing the row. So I am going to perform them this way during Stage 5 (workout .

AWESOME utube video if you are having ANY pain in your knees/back when squatting!!!! Somebody else posted this somewhere but I thought I'd move it over to this thread.

Wow, she's awesome. Will be going thru them all!
Thanks xx

Edit:
The louschuler vids are interesting too, the pike scares me, tried it before, terrified of ending up in a somersault!
The jacknife vid is different to the book, Might try it differently next time- not moving the back.
